Hello, thankyou for taking the time to read my letter. I guess you are looking for a home to live in and to experience the country and language whilst looking after children. We have never had an au pair but have friends who have and who speak warmly of the experience. We would hope to offer you a safe and welcoming home to call your own whilst you explore the wonderful countryside we have to offer. We live in a beautiful village near Newcastle and I truly believe it to be one of the best places in the world. You can walk in the countryside, visit the beach or the lakes or the mountains and of course the city lights are close by too. The village has everything you might need. A shop, several pubs and restaurants and a lovely park. Everyone is very friendly and we have lovely neighbours.

Job Description

This is our first request for an au pair. Our children need to be taken to school in the morning and collected in the afternoon. Due to our jobs, neither my husband or I can do this. Currently the children goto a nursery. But we are now looking for a little more than this.
Mon - Friday you would walk the children to school for 845 and collect them again at 315 and prepare their dinner and help them with any homework/reading. The time in between could be your own. We have a cleaner and so do not need you to clean. However, I struggle sometimes with washing clothes and doing the little bits required in between cleans. So if you could help me wash clothes/bedding/empty the dishwasher/ hoover it would be much appreciated. On evenings/ weekends (to be arranged and agreed in advance) we may ask you to babysit whilst we go car rallying. This would be a maybe 2 weekends a month and 2 evening a month. We would be happy for you to go out on an evening jogging/cycling/swimming or attending the local gym. There is lots to do in our local area and Newcastle isn’t far for cinemas, restaurants etc.
Our parents enjoy babysitting and we would hope to still give them this pleasure. But they are getting older and we would like to have an alternative to not rely upon them.
I work in a school and have school holidays off. Therefore, you could have school holidays off. We have a motorhome that we love going on holiday in.
We would hope to include you, if you wanted, in our hobbies and you could come walking or cycling with us. We have a kayak and a paddle board that you could also use.
Whilst we would not require you to drive, we are open to exploring the idea that you could drive the family car if needed.
